SSI and TSR collaborated on some pretty amazing --nay, classic-- computer roleplaying games and none were more important than the Goldbox series. Three of its best games, Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds and Secret of the Silver Blades were happily bundled into a lovely box back in the day; a box you can grab complete with manuals and everything via this SSI Goldbox Collection (MS-DOS)eBay auction.

This boxed Sinclair Interface 1 & Microdrives that's gone up for auction on eBay is a beautiful rarity for your ZX Spectrum and a testament to Sinclair's wild but not always successful ingenuity. The box includes the Interface 1, two Microdrives, two cartridges and the required cable. The items have not been tested, but should work fine as the seller claims they have hardly been used.

Up for auction on eBay is a rare Vectrex 3D Imager accompanied by three cartridges and everything else (not much to be honest) you see on the pic posted above. And, yes, if you've never seen one of those headsets, they do exactly what you imagine them to: bring proper 3D to Vectrex gaming. And as the 3D Imager was released back in early 1984 it is indeed the very first virtual reality kit to ever hit homes worldwide.

The Vectrex 3D Imager on auction is in good condition and apparently works fine, as do the games that come along. The seller's shipping to quite a few places worldwide.

An original piece of art from the golden era of the Sierra On-Line / Dynamix period has been put for auction up on eBayand is looking both stunning and unsurprisingly expensive.

Seller ships to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Malaysia.

It may not be the best designed adventure series ever, but Sierra's King's Quest is historically important, wildly imaginative, evocative of the most nostalgic feelings and filled with more than enough amazing moments and clever puzzles. And King's Quest VI remains a truly great point-and-clicker set in a fantastic fantasy setting.

Better though, see for yourselves via this King's Quest collection that appeared on eBay. The highest bidder will be getting the boxed versions of all the games (with the exception of King's Quest VII) that seem to be both complete and in great condition. Also, an extra King's Quest VI copy.

The last great game of the adventure gaming golden age, Grim Fandango by Lucasarts, remains a true masterpiece of interactive storytelling and one of the most imaginative and beautiful games ever made. Oh, and you can try and buy it by bidding on this lovely Grim Fandango (PC)eBay auction. The rather rare PC-CD featuring box is sealed and thus complete.

Released in 1980, the IntelliVision was a powerful, essentially 16-bit console designed to take on the Atari 2600. Interestingly, it did pretty well too and went on to sell several million units before becoming a vintage, collector's system you could actually buy via this IntelliVision, IntelliVoice & GameseBay auction.

The seller has not only thoroughly cleaned and refurbished the console to support composite video-out, but has also packed it with all sorts of goodies such as the IntelliVoice speach synthesizer module and 27 boxed games including Utopia, Micro Surgeon, Frogger, Donkey Kong and Space Armada.

Raiden, my all time favourite shmup, did get a very impressive port for the TurboGrafx-16 back in the day. It also, happily, is a port you can grab via this Raiden (TurboGrafx-16)eBay auction and rejoice. The game has been tested and is working and comes complete in its case with its manual.

It may not be exactly new, but the fine ColecoVision console you could buy via this ColecoVisioneBay auction has never been hooked up or used and has thus been finely preserved in its original box. The only thing missing from said box is the Donkey Kong cartridge, but everything else seems to be in place. And in great condition.

A Mind Forever Voyaging by Steve Meretzky and Infocom was one of the first successfully political science fiction adventures ever. An innovative, excellently written and cleverly designed interactive story that posed intriguing questions regarding our collective future and managed to be one of the most engrossing games I have played to this very day.

As with most Infocom releases, it also came in a lavish box you can actually own by bidding on this A Mind Forever Voyaging (PC)eBay auction. The game is complete in its box and the seller is willing to ship worldwide.
